Hey! Psst. If you’re in the Halifax Regional Municipality, this is for YOU. I need you to read it and think on it. I am calling you to action. I’m challenging you. And if you’re a reader who isn’t in the HRM, I encourage you to keep reading too. Maybe it will inspire you. And…
Thanksgiving
Share Thanksgiving
If you live anywhere in Nova Scotia (like I do) other than under a rock, you’ve probably heard about a recent report released on the state of our economy. Many have heard it called “The Ivany Report” or “The Now or Never Report”. It is a nice big document that essentially puts Nova Scotians on…
The Black Stain
Canadians are well aware of today’s relevance in the American calendar. We have American friends celebrating Thanksgiving today, (Happy Thanksgiving, friends!), emails, usually deleted with a smile and an eye-roll, are coming to our inbox wishing us Canadians a “Happy Thanksgiving”, and Black Friday has rolled out to Canada, ensuring that I have been glued…

Thinner Thursday: Uninspired
This girl here? Yeah this one. The one whose blog you’re reading. This girl does not feel up to blogging right now. This girl? She’s kind of bummed out. It might be because she’s feels rather uninspired about the post she’s about to write. Maybe it is that she knows she is overdue for a post. Maybe…
